So there are many of you who loyally watch these shows and, like me, make continual comments to the television whether anyone else is in the room or not. Alternately, there are many of you who do not have the time to keep up with reality TV – there are too many shows, your tivos runneth over, you have kids and can’t remember what it’s like to watch anything beyond Dora the Explorer (you know who you are) – but you also want to be “in the know.” That’s fine. Let me help you understand.

The Voice Top 10 Eliminations: Tonight I Wanna Cry

Tonight two contestants were sent packing on The Voice as the contenders in next week's semi-finals were announced....slowly. The results tonight weren't super shocking, and the good news for the coaches is all four of them will be represented next week. Whose journey ended this evening? Here's how it all played out. 

We had some The Voice alumnae updates tonight as we got caught up with Chris Blue, who is working on some new music, and Danielle Bradbery, who took the stage to perform her song "Worth It." At the risk of sounding cheesy, the time spent watching the performance was totally worth it. Glad to see she is doing well since there are many winners of this show whose names are usually followed by..."who?"  

Results! Brooke was the first one to make it through to the semi-finals (yay!) and Addison and Keisha joined her soon thereafter. Noah and Chloe were the next names announced, and the final two artists to definitely join the Top 8 were Adam and Red. This turn of events left Davon, Ashland, and Shi'Ann singing for the final spot in the semi-finals. 

Ashland was up first, taking on "Tonight I Wanna Cry" which was aptly named for the task at hand. It was also aptly named for how I felt about her performance...I didn't want to cry because I was so moved...I wanted to cry because this was probably Ashland's weakest performance this season. That's a hell of a way to end your run on the show. Shi'Ann, sticking with songs that don't do her any favors, went with "At Last." This wasn't much better than Ashland's "save me" attempt, and there were times when the words just disappeared in her lower register. Davon rounded out the performances with "Ain't No Way," and while I did not appreciate him screaming at me for as long as he did, Davon definitely had the best performance of the three. I know that's not saying much...but in the end he did win the Stupid Twitter Save and will compete in the semi-finals.  

Next week the remaining eight artists will duke it out for a spot in the four person finale, which I still don't understand but we'll roll with it. Does Adam have the momentum now to get him to the final four? Are Chloe and Brooke shoe-ins? Is Addison peaking at just the right time? At this point Team Blake remains untouched, Jennifer and Adam are still going pretty strong with two contestants each, and Miley is barely hanging on with one team member remaining. We'll find out which teams will be represented in the finale after these hopefuls take the stage in the semi-finals. Til then!
